well the pre facelift model use reflectors to shine light from a bulb behind the heater console into/up the switch. facelifted models have bulbs in the knobs and apparently it easier to just get a new knob with a workin bulb from the scrappers. or this the impression im under. mine has not bulb in the knob...but another guy with facelift model says he had to solder a new bulb in his knob.

u seen that black open bottom rectangle on the side of the knob shaft? :lol: :lol: :lol: well that slides ova the bulb...so u should be able to see it really..unless there wasnt one in there in the first place. the bulb is 1.2v 5watts if i can remember of the top of my head. it a push fit with a flat head bottom to decribe it best.
